Slide: 3 Existing Priority Actions Improve access to information produced through key disaster management mechanisms such as the International Charter on Space and Major Disasters, Sentinel Asia, GMES Emergency Management Services, and SERVIR Promote quick and easy access to in-situ data and reference maps required in case of emergency. Integrate baseline geographic information and reference maps with real-time data from satellite or in-situ platforms into online Graphical User Interface and Decision Support System tools Make information related to environmental risk and vulnerability easily accessible to a wide range of decision-makers through a centralized platform. Build upon the South African Atlas (based on a spatial database system and a repository of global-change related information) and the Chinese disaster assessment system (based on Geographic Information Systems) Enhance the use of satellite data for disaster management, based on lessons-learned and experience from countries and organizations, and develop best practice guidelines for technical and procedural cooperation in satellite-based emergency mapping Review global and regional disaster risk management systems. Perform a gap analysis considering data, metadata, systems, and capacity (building upon existing analyses) Expected achievements by 2015 (from Task Sheet DI-01C1) Use of satellite data for disaster management will be increased, through the development of best practices for the integration of EO in the full cycle of disaster management, including both risk reduction and disaster response; Baseline data will be better integrated with new and archived satellite data, and the combined information will be easy to access for a broad range of users incuding decision makers and the general public; Global and regional disaster management systems will be reviewed with a view to identifying gaps with regard to data, metadata, systems and capacity.

Slide: 4 Expected achievements by 2015 (from Task Sheet DI-01C1) Use of satellite data for disaster management will be increased, through the development of best practices for the integration of EO in the full cycle of disaster management, including both risk reduction and disaster response; Action 1. Improve access to information produced through key disaster management mechanisms such as the International Charter on Space and Major Disasters, Sentinel Asia, GMES Emergency Management Services, and SERVIR o International Charter – Universal Access Principle; o Sentinel-Asia; o GMES; o SERVIR (Central America and Africa); o Regional pilots in Caribbean (CSDP) and Namibia/Southern Africa o New regional pilots? Action 2. Enhance the use of satellite data for disaster management, based on lessons-learned and experience from countries and organizations, and develop best practice guidelines for technical and procedural cooperation in satellite-based emergency mapping o WGISS Disasters Enterprise Architecture; o DLR and UNOOSA Lessons Learned Exercise; o Need for data dissemination action? Baseline data will be better integrated with new and archived satellite data, and the combined information will be easy to access for a broad range of users including decision makers and the general public; Action 3. Promote quick and easy access to in-situ data and reference maps required in case of emergency. Integrate baseline geographic information and reference maps with real-time data from satellite or in-situ platforms into online Graphical User Interface and Decision Support System tools o CEOS Disasters Initiative? (under definition) o Other? Action 4. Make information related to environmental risk and vulnerability easily accessible to a wide range of decision-makers through a centralized platform. Build upon the South African Atlas (based on a spatial database system and a repository of global-change related information) and the Chinese disaster assessment system (based on Geographic Information Systems) o South African Atlas; o Chinese Disaster Assessment System o Other centralized platform under development? Global and regional disaster management systems will be reviewed with a view to identifying gaps with regard to data, metadata, systems and capacity. Action 5. Review global and regional disaster risk management systems. Perform a gap analysis considering data, metadata, systems, and capacity (building upon existing analyses) o CEOS data gap analysis o Need for similar analysis relating to metadata, systems and capacity C1 Disaster Management Systems – Achievements and Priority Actions
